Key job responsibilities
- Your skills will need to cover both breadth and depth. Success will be shaped by your ability to analyze data, execute a customer-centric strategy, and communicate effectively. You will partner with stakeholders that span different organizations (Engineering, Sales, Finance, etc.) and seniority (hands-on engineers to senior leadership). You will define roadmaps, mitigate risks, prioritize against constraints, and design mechanisms for how your programs achieve success.

- You will establish a deep understanding of customers by diving into the details of their needs. This focus will involve you learning and practicing Amazon's working backwards approach to delighting customers. Your knowledge of our services will drive greater mission outcomes, from launching brand new capabilities to overcoming obstacles. Your strong skills in technical program management will unlock daily progress in our initiatives.

A day in the life
Our TPMs deliver in an agile environment that embraces the evolving needs of customers. This creates a healthy balance of consistent approaches and unique activities. While no day is the same, our TPMs invest their time in customer deep dives, roadmap sessions with their engineering teams, drafting new strategies, and more.

Our team includes a mix of product and program managers. Each team member has distinct ownership of their own products/programs, but we work together to deliver more than the sum of our parts. We place great value on maintaining harmony between our personal and professional lives.
